In this participatory artwork, viewers were asked to chew gum that was freely available and place it on the gallery wall where it touched another piece.
Spit Chain was first presented in 2011 at SASA Gallery, Adelaide as part of the “Vague Possibilities” group show, curated by Mary Knights. It was presented again as part of the “2011 VCA School of Art Masters Exhibition” at Margaret Lawrence Gallery, Melbourne and a third time as part of a solo exhibition, “Missed Connections“, held at Seventh Galley, Melbourne in 2012.
